MMNW Holiday Victory

Just a quick post. Today included no official workouts. Food was mostly leftover variety with little in the way of produce. I did spend some serious time bending, standing, stooping and sorting in my children's rooms to try to purge the crap that builds up throughout the year. But the real point of interest: MMNW was 177.2! Although this is up from some of the weights I saw last week, it is much lower than I had expected given holiday goodies. So I'm calling it a holiday victory.

Tomorrow is another holiday gathering though. With nearly 6 hours in the car and a big meal in between, I'm not holding out a ton of hope for exercise. Such is life!

All good. It's the week this stuff is bound to happen after all. Try to get a workout in though, even it's only 20 mins. Not in an attempt to tactically counteract the calories. But for consistency - that's the key long term.

About Me

I trained for and completed my first triathlon in July 2011. After nearly 15 years as an out-of-shape mom of two, this was just the kind of goal that appealed to my Type A personality. When my dear husband suggested there was no way I could do this, I went right out and bought two books on triathlon training and dug into the "Just a Slice Above a Couch Potato" training plan. I built up some fitness and finished my first triathlon! It wasn't very pretty, but it was a goal achieved and now I want MORE! In the meantime, I was laid off Oct 2010 and have been building my own consulting business as a stormwater engineer. Lots to juggle along with raising two great kids and trying find the energy (mental and physical) to "climb those hills"!
